Hey everybody. I hope you all are doing it great!
I have a bit of a problem here...
That is it that i installed arduino from the repositories but the version that was there is a bit of old. So I think to download a more newst version from the arduino site (arduino 1.6.7) wich i had done.
The problem is I can't install from source. I was confident that I can do it easily. I untar the file; move to the arduino 1.6.7 folder, but there was no "configure file" nor "readme" file to somewhat guide me.
This are the files that I have in the folder:
->arduino;
->arduino-builder;
->install.sh;
->uninstall.sh and...
->revisions.txt;

I tried: "sudo ./install.sh" and it only creates a (useless) Desktop icon.
I tried: "sudo ./arduino-builder" and it gives me a bunch of error(?) in terminal.
I tried: "sudo ./arduino" and it opens the program that in fact I can use, but still the problem remains: the program is not installed!

If you could help me I would appreciate a lot.
Many thanks for you all!

That process requires me to install java from Oracle which I prefer not to do. Is there any option, or maybe I have to stick with the old version of arduino from the repositories?
